The deposit is being developed to produce raw cement. A quarry strips limestones and dolomites of the peskovskaya stratum, myachkovskii horizon, moskovskii stage, Middle Carboniferous. Those deposits are overlain by clays of Callovian stage, Upper Jurassic. Fine-grain limestone with numerous boring mollusks lies in the roof of carboniferous rocks. They are underlain by coarse- and medium-grain organogenic–detrital limestones. The fine-grain limestone disappears in some areas, where Jurassic clay is underlain by coarse- and medium-grain limestone, also bored by mollusks. A member of interstratified fine-grain greenish-grey low-clay limestones and calcareous greenish-grey clays lies underneath. Heavily pyritized rocks at the contact between Carboniferous carbonate and Jurassic clay deposits, revealed at the Pan'shinskoe deposit, are unique for the Moskovskaya Synclise. Similar contacts of Carboniferous and Jurassic rocks can be seen at the Nikitskoe, Domodedovskoe, Afa- nas'evskoe, and Shchurovskoe deposits; however, no pyritized limestone was found here. Pyritized rocks, represented by coarse- and medium-size organogenic-detrital limestones of black, dark grey, and grey color, lie as interlayers and lenses 0.2–0.5 m in thickness and up to 20–50 m in length in the roof of Carboniferous rock section, in which they have been stripped in the north- ern part of the quarry. In some areas, limestones in the roof of interlayers and lenses are oxide- brown in color. Macroscopically, pyrite was detected in both dark and axide-brown rocks in the form of fine (1–2 mm) inclusions. Detailed sampling followed by analytical X-ray spectroscopic determinations of Fe2O3 and S have shown the black and dark grey rocks to contain, on the aver- age, 3.2%; grey rocks, 0.8%; and oxide-brown rocks, 0.3% of disulfides. No sulfur was recorded in the rock immediately underlying the lenses and interlayers. Combined polished sections, made of rocks with different petrographic composition and color, were found to contain the following authigenic minerals: calcite, pyrite, white iron pyrite, iron hydroxides (judging by its color, it is likely pyrite), and chalcedony. The pyrite, which is far in excess of white iron pyrite, is represented by cryptocrystalline inclusions, sometimes, in the form of framboidal aggregates. Stage analysis of the mineral-formation series at this phase of study established the follow- ing mineralogical–geochemical zones: zone of unaffected rocks, pyritization zone, oxidation zone, repyritization zone. Studying the polished sections established that the disulfide mineralization is represented by pyrite alone, sometimes, in the form of framboidal aggregates. In black and dark gray limestones, pyrite partially replaces organogenic detritus, mostly, echinoderms fragments. Those fragments show very intense regeneration of calcite with fringes of the newly formed carbonate with auto- morphic faceting almost completely fill the pore space and form basal cement, making the rock extremely strong. In oxide-brown limestone, pyrite in organogenic detritus is partially or completely replaced by iron hydroxides, while idiomorphic regeneration fringes of calcite are overgrown by a new py- rite generation showing no oxidation signs. Stage analysis of mineral formation series shows the pyritization of limestones in the roof of Carboniferous deposits to have include two stages, separated by a stage of rock oxidation. The development of the Pan'shinskoe deposit (which is known in the paleontological litera- ture as the Peski location) showed the limestones of the peskovskaya stratum to contain five karst — 6 — funnels, filled by sad-clay deposits of Bathonian–Bajocian time, Middle Jurassic, containing bone remains of fishes, amphibian, reptiles, and mammals, as well as seeds, leaf fragments, and the woody tissue of fern and gymnosperms [1]. These finding show that the climate during the Middle Jurassic was warm and subtropic. The presence of annual rings in wood remains and leaf fragments of foliage plants suggests the seasonal climate, though the analysis of the width of annual rings shows the seasonal character of the climate to be due to drought periods rather than cooling [3]. Such conditions were favorable for the formation of bogs with considerable accumulation of plant remains in depressions of Paleozoic paleorelief. The sedimentogenic waters of such bogs were ultra-acid and highly reducing with high concentration of dissolved Fe(II) [2] and sulfur, resulting from sulfate reduction. Penetrating into underlying limestones, those solutions caused redistribu- tion (regeneration) of calcite, while their neutralization led to pyrite precipitation. During periods of droughts and disappearance of bogs, oxygen-containing waters could penetrate into pyritized rocks,

  • Sulphur Isotope Geochemistry of the Ores and Country Rocks at the Almadcn Mercury Deposit, Ciudad Real, Spain*

Sulphur isotope geochemistry of the ores and country rocks at the AlmadCn mercury deposit, Ciudad Real, Spain* FRANCIS SAUP~~and MICHEL ARNOLD Centre de Recherches Pstrographiques et GCochimiques, BP 20, 54501 Vandoeuvre-l&s-NancyCedex. France (Received June 7, 1991: accepted in revised form April 15, 1992) Abst~ct-Seventy-four new S isotope analyses of ore minerals and country rocks are given for the Hg deposit of Almad&. The spread of the cinnabar &34Sis narrow within each of the three orebodies, but the 634S average values differ sufficiently between them (mean 634S: San Nicolas = 0.2 rt I. l%, San Francisco = 8.1 + 0.7%0, San Pedro = 5.9 f 1.0%0) to indicate three different mineralization episodes and possibly processes. The unweighted mean for all cinnabar samples is 5.6%0 and the S source is considered to be the host-rocks, either the Footwall Shales (634S = 5.5%0) or the spilites (S34S = 5.1 rt 1.3%0). For geometric and chronologic reasons, the former seem the best potential source. However, the high ?js4S values of the San Francisco cinnabar cannot be explained without addition of heavy S from reduction of seawater sulphate. Orderly distributions ofthe 634Svalues are observed in all three orebodies: ( 1) their increase from the stratigraphic bottom to the top in the San Pedro orebody is explained by a Rayleigh process, and (2) the maxima in the centres of the San Francisco and San Nicolas orebodies are explained by mixing of the S transporting hydrothermal fluids with seawater within the sediments.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • Russia's 2012 Presidential Election
    Russia’s 2012 Presidential Election: Yet Another Term for Putin? By Paweł Piotr Styrna l February 27, 2012 The next presidential election in post-Soviet Russia is scheduled for March 4, 2012. The roster of candidates Russian voters can choose from is rather limited, both in terms of the number of candidates and their backgrounds. The upcoming contest pits five candidates against each other: the Sovietonostalgic chekist, Vladimir Putin; the unreconstructed and unrepentant communist, Gennady Zyuganov; the socialist - and long-time Chairman of the Federation Council (Russia’s upper house) - Sergey Mironov, the nominee of the “Just Russia” Party; the infamous, rabid chauvinist, Vladimir Zhirinovsky; and the “independent” oligarch, Mikhail Prokhorov. Not surprisingly, all these men embody different, yet often overlapping, facets of post-communism. One will notice the conspicuous and telling absence of a conservative, Christian, anti-communist alternative of the Alexander Solzhenitsyn variety. This seems to correspond with what some have argued to constitute one of the essential features of post-communism (particularly in the former USSR), i.e. an ostensible political pluralism serving as a façade, disguising an establishment jealously guarding the post-communist status quo, and attempting to marginalize threats to it. Thus, the faux pluralism appears designed to cater to multiple ideological persuasions in society without jeopardizing the main continuities between communism-proper and post-communism, not to mention the privileges, perks, and golden parachutes retained or acquired by the post-communist oligarchy. This is not to claim that the post-bolshevik establishment is a monolith or that no spheres of freedom exist, but that these are significantly limited.

  • Resting Eggs in the Life Cycle of Cercopagis Pengoi, a Recent Invader of the Baltic Sea
    Arch.Hydrobiol.Spec.Issues Advanc.Limnol. 52, p. 383-392, December 1998 Evolutionary and ecological aspects of crustacean diapause RESTING EGGS IN THE LIFE CYCLE OF CERCOPAGIS PENGOI, A RECENT INVADER OF THE BALTIC SEA Piotr I. Krylov and Vadim E. Panov With 4 figures Abstract The Ponto-Caspian predaceous cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi was first recorded in the Gulf of Riga in 1992 and in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland in 1995. The seasonal cycle of С. pengoi in the shallow waters off the north-eastern coast of the Gulf of Finland was studied from the end of June to October 1996. In early August females bearing resting eggs constituted 13-67% of the total population of C. pengoi. The start of the production of resting eggs corresponded with the period of elevated water temperature and with an increase in population density of C. pengoi. A comparison with published data on reproduction of cercopagids revealed a considerable difference in timing and intensity of resting egg production between the Caspian and Baltic populations of C. pengoi. The adaptive significance of changes in the mode of reproduction and in the mass production of resting eggs for survival of C. pengoi in the novel environment is discussed. Introduction Cladoceran crustaceans of the families Podonidae and Cercopagidae comprise one of the most peculiar groups among the autochthonous Ponto-Caspian fauna. While podonids may be considered as descendants of the marine genus Evadne, cercopagids of the genera Apagis and Cercopagis most probably originated from the freshwater Bythotrephes (MORDUKHAI-BOLTOVSKOI 1965a, MORDUKHAI- BOLTOVSKOI & RIVIER 1987).

Gubkina 3, Moscow, 119333 Russia [email protected] 2 Department of Hydrology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119899, Leninskiye Gory, Moscow, Russia Abstract Climate change-derived variations in the characteristics of the annual, dry-season, and minimal monthly runoff in rivers of European Russia were estimated and analysed. The current changes in runoff characteristics were studied for different river basins, and their major causes were identified. Regional regularities in the hydrological and geohydrological processes were identified. The natural resources of surface and subsurface waters over 1970–2005 were re-estimated with the construction of appropriate maps. Water availability and demand on water resources were analysed. Key words natural groundwater resources; surface water resources; groundwater runoff; river runoff; runoff regime INTRODUCTION An urgent current problem is to re-estimate the renewable water resources (natural resources of sub-surface and surface waters) in the context of changing climatic characteristics, which affect the formation of water balance elements in river basins. Studying the current features of the formation of river runoff components makes it possible to describe the distribution of total water resources in European Russia (ER) and their dynamics under the effect of non stationary climate. MATERIALS AND METHODS The input data for the analysis were materials from the State Water Cadastre and Russian and international hydrometric and climatic databases collected for approximately 300 watersheds in ER.
